reach a state of perfection which can only result from many years of constant improvement.
In purchasing a KORONA you get the benefit of all the experience we have had in making cameras, dating from the beginning of amateur photography.

Hits the Nail on the Head
Gardner P. Stickney, vice-president of the Wisconsin Trust Company, Milwaukee, is a firm believer in the judicious use of printer’s ink and dignified banking publicity. Judging from the. numerous and prompt replies received from the heads of many of Wisconsin corporations he has conferred a favor upon busy business men. “Provisions Relating to Corporation Taxes Established in the New Tariff Law” is the title of a neat little pamphlet which he has caused to be sent to various business houses throughout the state. It is the exact language of the part of the law commonly called the Corporation Tax Law and, separated from the voluminous congressional document, is placed before readers in compact form so that it may be digested at leisure. Although the first copies were mailed but a few days ago replies are already coming in complimenting the Wisconsin Trust Company and showing good evidence that the subject matter is read carefully.
to the notes but there was no way of learning what the total amount of the notes was. As nearly as can be estimated the shortage is about $200,000 and Mr. Allen has turned over to the bank securities in an amount equal to the total of the forged notes as nearly as could be ascertained.”
The bank has had an excellent rating, with a paid up capital of $100,000. Deposits in July were shown to be $508,389, a decrease of $11,930 since March. Surplus and profits in July were reported at $9,560, a decrease since the March report of $19,496. The bank’s correspondents are Kountze Bros., New York; First National Bank, Chicago; and the Wisconsin National Bank, Milwaukee.
Sees Evil in Central Bank
Senator Aldrich’s central bank plan looks bad to Senator La Follette, of Wisconsin, according to his own statement.
“While I don’t care to say much about it now,” he said, “I will say though, that I sincerely hope the measure will not pass. I believe that it is a general plan to center the financial power of the country in the banks controlled by the Rocke-feller-Morgan interests. I believe that it is likely to come up at the next session. It appears to me that sentiment is being manufactured for it now. I see similar articles appearing in the different papers. They are about the same thing and I do not believe that their appearance is accidental.”
Will Hold Annual Meeting
The Bankers’ Club of Milwaukee will hold its annual meeting on the evening of October 23d. An interesting program has been prepared and a large attendance is anticipated.

Preparing for Big Meeting
The committee having in charge the entertainment of the members of Group Five of the Wisconsin Bankers Association which will hold its annual meeting at Waukesha, October 29th, is said to be working “night and day” to make its end of the meeting a huge success. The program is not yet rounded into sufficient shape to make public it's details but the members of the committee promise that the visitors will not be disappointed. Group Five is the largest in the state
